During the battery collection period, which runs from April 12-23, 2021, residents can put all single-use and rechargeable batteries out for collection. Residents are encouraged to check peelregion.ca/waste to find their pickup day or sign up to receive free waste collection reminders.
This collection service provides residents a convenient way to ensure that their batteries are disposed of safely.
As a reminder:
- Place all single-use and rechargeable batteries that weigh less than 5 kg (11 lbs).
- Sealed lead acid and car batteries are not accepted at the curb. Take them to a Peel Community Recycling Centre (CRC) for safe disposal.
- On your recycling collection day, place the bag of batteries on top of your closed green bin. If you don’t have a green bin, place your bag of batteries beside your recycling bags.
- Drop off all other batteries at any CRC year-round free of charge
Thanks to your efforts, we have recycled 104.2 tonnes of batteries since 2016, helping Peel get closer to its target of 75% waste diversion by 2034.
The Region of Peel works with residents and partners to create a healthy, safe and connected Community for Life for approximately 1.5 million people and over 175,000 businesses in the cities of Brampton and Mississauga and the Town of Caledon. Peel’s services touch the lives of residents every day. For more information about the Region of Peel, explore peelregion.ca and follow us on Twitter @regionofpeel and Instagram @peelregion.ca.
